SHOALHAVEN HEADS MEN'S SHED - A History in Pictures

We started with the Old Fire Shed in 2006	Pretty bare interior
A 1950's kitchen with bare walls	The beginnings of a work bench
The Master Carpenter Kevin Huckel	Kevin's apprentice Laurie Rawle
The very first member group	Our Plan for the Future
Executive Committee with Mr John Wells, Director of City Services at Shoalhaven City Council	Trying to convince the Ministers
We get the cheque for $4000	Everyone is happy
Work Starts on our first extension	Pouring the concrete base
The base is nearly finished	The members start work on the building
Even our local Federal MP Joanna (Joe) Gash turns up to lend a hand.	4 days and the frames are up.Not bad for a bunch of Old Blokes.
The roof goes up next	Then the walls are insulated
Then the outside Colourbond cladding	Nearly there, looks like we need a door
And a new window	And we now have the new extension completed

No sooner as we moved into our new extension that the membership started to climb and the
general complaint was we need more room.So back to the drawing board and we started
the process of raising the capital for another extension to house storage of timber and donated goods..

The start of the Storage Shed	300 x 300 footing could hold up a Nuclear Power Station
Looks like a solid base anyway	All inspected and ready for the concrete
Thanks to PVB Concreting it was laid in quick time	Waiting for the concrete to go off, like watching paint dry.
Work starts on getting the frame up.	Graham, Bill, up the ladder and Cliff holding his pants up.
Soon as the Camera comes out Bill makes like a worker.	Bill London, Graham and Bill Owen installing the roof beams & batterns. Cliff still holding up his pants.
The framework is up.	Time to start fitting the roof covering.
Cliff Chambers fitting the wall covering and flashing his builders crack.	A quick touch up with paint
	And we are ready to move in, after we get approval of course.
